Subject: Proxy filesystems
Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2018 23:07:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJEMUN_4VHx99-cL4txv+nYEbG_SVvvgVXwwLf37HuBek8AH+g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
How difficult would it be to create a proxy filesystem ? that is, a
filesystem that is a view of the filesystem?
For instance, opening `/dev/urlfs/home/test/A%20Bcd` would open
`/home/test/A Bcd`. The purpose would be to handle poorly written tools
(like Autoconf and CMake) that do not handle wierd characters in filenames.
